Palisade

Mineral

and there I was at fourteen - spinning with my arms out like a scarecrow;

walking down monroe to the park, and dancing up madison. With my eyes closed,

your feet sounded like a symphony of strings (you picked me up, and whispered:

"forever", like a secret in my ear). to smile (like it caused the grass to bend)

. the warm wind and these memories are gifts that I could never comprehend. i

died that day. but something was born inside of me that I cannot explain away.
